"You can't stop the waves, as the saying goes, but you can learn to surf. Chance favours the prepared mind." Never underestimate such innocent looking sentences. I've learned surfing with 40. Surfing is by far the hardest craft to learn. You only have a few seconds on a wave, and hardly get anyone, esp. in crowded surfs. You need at least 5 years to get decent at it. But it's really worth it. I'm missing it a lot.
